China House, KL Midtown

China House is the Chinese restaurant at Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown, led by executive chef Alan Shao, who brings northern Chinese cooking from his native Qingdao into a kitchen most diners expect to be Cantonese.

That regional difference is the reason to pay attention. Northern Chinese cooking leans on wheat, dumplings and wood-fired roasting rather than the southern repertoire that dominates hotel Chinese restaurants in Kuala Lumpur.

What to Expect at China House

Chef Shao's cooking shows most clearly in northern-style beef dumplings, served with a dipping sauce of chilli oil, vinegar and sesame oil.

The kitchen also runs a rambutan wood-fired Peking duck — crisp-skinned and aromatic, roasted over rambutan wood rather than the usual fruitwood.

The restaurant runs festive menus through the year. The Lunar New Year 2026 edition was built around both of the above; festive menus change each season, so check what is running before booking for an occasion.
